Karna is the most fascinating and tragic of all Mahabharata's heroes.
Raised without the love of parents; target of great envy and hatred;
falsely ridiculed for being of low birth; constantly humiliated at
the hands of his inferiors; Karna is at once the most riveting
character in the Mahabharata! Powerful enough to beat all five
Pandavas in a fair fight, indomitable owing to certain blessings
bestowed upon him, Karna was generous beyond generosity and brave
to the point of foolhardiness.

He was a warrior true and strong, a proud prince denied his rightful
throne and a faithful friend who laid down his life for his friend
Duryodhana. The Mahabharata was fought by some of the greatest
warriors in the world. But Karna was the greatest of them all.

This work is a masterpiece. A must-read.

The author Ranjit Desai is one of Marathi's best read and most loved
novelists. His special strength is the period novel. His "Shriman
Yogi" written on Chatrapati Shivaji and "Raja Ravi Varma" on India's
first modern painter have ensured that his name will live on
gloriously in the annals of Indian literature.
